Gulp watch fire task only on added or deleted

Is there a way to only trigger a task upon a particular set of event types. e.g. added or deleted?

gulp.watch(`/path/to/new/files**/*`, (event) => {
  if (event.type === 'added' || event.type === 'deleted') {
    // fire some gulp task
  }
});

On Gulp 3.8 and 3.9 is only triggering ‘changed’ and ‘deleted’ files if your source start with ‘./’ without ‘./’ triggering also ‘added’.

Gulp 4.0 not tested.

Using Mac OSX El Capitan

var gulp = require('gulp');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  gulp.watch('templates/**/*.html', function (event) {
    console.log(event);
  });
});

Chalking this up to #651 for 3.9 - However, I think you can use the returned watcher to listen on events, I’m not sure how accurate they are due to all the other problems. In gulp 4, you can use the returned watcher to listen for all events that chokidar emits.
